Things I absolutely loved about this story: 1) The characterization. Yay for good characterization! In fact, double yay! 2) Awesome music selections (I looked up all the one's I didn't know and my favorite was the Michael Nyman which I'd never heard before-it's very beautiful!) 3) really cool integration of details and characters from the real HP 4) A nice steady & clear tone. And overall it was just an amazing story!
I really love your story, its amazing, and I'm glad you've included music. Everytime you mention a new piece I find it online and listen to it while I'm reading. I've even printed a few and tried them on the piano. Its really inspirational. Thanks Again!
This was really beautiful, I must say. There were a few mistakes in grammar as well as consistency in one chapter... but oh, my goodness! It was beautiful.
The explicit scenes were... heehee very mild. It always made me smile when you had the little warning at the top. I truly enjoyed this. I think you delt perfectly with all the subplots. It wasn't too much or too tedious! It was all very well written I truly appreciated this story! Fantastic! I can't wait to read the sequal!
I thought the letters were really well written. It made me think back to when one of my past boys friends was out of the country for the summer and we would email each other. Id get that stupid smile on my face when reading a letter and much of the content in your letters was similar to what we wrote. That sort of 'I miss you so much I dont even know what to say!' feeling.
I think the fact that your letters made me think back and feel again what I felt so long ago shows that you wrote them well.
Also I like how you wrote Sirius... hes so loveable! Sigh. :]
Wow Oh my gosh I love you! You're absolutely amazing and I'm almost jealous of you for coming up with such an awesome story! It's so unique, and , though it is an ecellent idea, yours is the first I've read of it's kind! Orchestra, music, violin, and just instruments in general are very important to me so that would explain my particular fascination with this fic! You wrote it very well, I was constantly entertained, there was never a dull or slow or boring part, and I could hardly leave my computer until I had finished (thought I had to because of school) This is definitely going on my favs and I hope you have already posted a sequel coz I'm gonna leap into that next if you have! Thanks for sharing this awesomeness wuth the world!
All the night through; till the white phantom ships
Of dawn sailed in. Whereat I said this song,
"Of all sweet passions Shame is the loveliest."
It really makes a lot of sense when you consider a man, dreaming about his lover, who he had cheated on, or somehow felt he contributed to their death. This would apply greatly to Draco, I thought.
Hello. Firstly, I'll introduce myself as Sin. It's a silly nickname, so don't pay much mind to it. But, I must apologize for not reviewing at all these past eight chapters that I've read. Your story, quite simply, just had me so hooked that I didn't have time to review before rushing to the next chapter.
This fiction is really good, to say the least. I started reading last night, and only went to sleep after early hours in the morning. I love the way you've made your characters so realistic in nature, unlike other fictions where they're so perfect, or so despressed that it's not enjoyable anymore. The way you've taken such a cliche genre (boarding school for the arts) and have changed it to suit your plot and writing style has blown me away.
Not literally, of course, because then I wouldn't be able to access the next chapter of your story, and that would be completely disasterous.
Anyway, in a minute attempt to hear some of these classical pieces, I've looked up Vanessa Mae and have listened to a few of her songs on radioblog. My favorite is the Sabre Dance and Firefly. Until I listened to the Toccata and Fugue, I had no idea that was where the familiar tune came from. I didn't even know it was made by Bach, which is a shame on my part. Oh well.
This piece inspires me to do something involving a ViolinPlaying!Draco. Most likely a roleplay, because I can never get my fictions complete at all. Nor would the chapters be longer than two thousand words, decreasing exponentially with each update. Gah!
So, in conclusion, I thank you with much excitement for this fiction. I do very much look forward to the sequel. I've been looking forever for a non-magic Harry Potter fiction, and they're hard to find on this site, unfortunately.
This is really good, as well as your way to write. I found myself liking it more and more. I also liked how you described the music and it got me interested. I'm not that familiar with classic music but I find myself wanting to know how the songs in this fic would sound like.
Okay, first: that was not a secret we learned -this- chapter. When you devote so many words to poetry and V-day we figure you out pretty fast. But on the other hand I am right there with you. I think Sirius needs a secret girlfriend. That's my vote.
... and after I wrote that I went up the the top of the page and saw you wrote this in 2003/4. That's forever ago. Is it cool to get reviews even three years after the fact?
